coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.

Having thus described the invention, what I claimas new and desire to secure by'Letters' Patent is 1. In a device of the character described, a

handle formed at one end in a' dot'vnwardly and forwardly extending offset portion, a transverse slot formed in the handle at the juncture of the ofiset portion,a plate adapted to be fixed to a pie tin, a forwardly extending projection on the upper edge of the plate, and adapted to enter the notch in said handle, and a forwardly extending projection formed on the extreme end of said offset portion for rest against the tin adjacent the bottom edge of said plate. a I I 2. Ina device of the character described, a plate adapted to be fixed to a pie tin, said plate being provided with a finger member extending downwardly from the upper edge of the plate in spaced relation to the plate, said finger member being bent; intermediate its ends to provide an upwardly extending forwardly projecting portion extending outwardly from saidplate, and a handle member formed at one end in a downwardly and forwardly extending ofiset portion, said handlemember being provided with a transverse slot formed therein at the juncture of the offset portion, through which the forwardly extend ing portion of the finger is adaptedto extend whereby l said" slot may receive the down wardly disposed portion of the finger and the upper edge of the first mentioned portion of the'finger adapted to engage the handle membe r at the upper edge of the handle member for supporting the same in applied position and the said ofisetportion-ofthe handle member terminating in aforwardly extending projection adapted to engage with the tin in spaced relation with the lower edge of the said plate. 1 1
